i'm Bas (nickname Stalkor) and im 19 year old IT student. I live in the Netherlands and have been playing go for somewhat more then a year now.
i havent really put very much attention in go as i maybe should, but i managed to get around 9k kgs in a year time.I didn't play much, probably one game a week or so:( the support i get on kgs is huge, lots of friendly ppl that enjoy teaching me (thanks all you teachers!!). when im in the mood i can give teaching games too, but it hasnt really happened yet. I hope i can learn to play go as good as i possibly can and time permits me.
I also play snooker and im putting more time in this game then in go, i've been 5th in the junior ranking 2002/2003 of the netherlands and i aim to be among the top 40 of the netherlands by 2005.

well go has been slow these weeks, i've done some games and i'm doing pretty good with the reviews i gave, i've seen them play better since. the coming days i have a game vs dima8 (8k) for the russian room/dutch windmill exchange match and im participating in the cookies go club tournament for 10k up to 1k. i think i make a good chance, maybe ill do good:)
The dutch championships are beginning in april so i will be going to train for that. i hope i do good on the tournament and im gonna do all to prepare myself to the utmost. wish me luck!

I've become 8k! I've been playing some more because i have almost no school. Tomorrow begins the next semester, so my go hours will be less.
I've also been enroled as a sensei for the first time! this is pretty cool, i like to teach. i'm gonna teach proto5544 and seig on kgs. i hope they learn from me. ill update about the progress in some time.
